The pay will be in the sum of 7,000 Timiro Gold Crowns. The Oracle himself is of no danger to you...unless he has a vision of you I suppose. Though he is guarded by a heavy escort." Joqueel begins. "As for his were abouts." he reaches down upon the table before him and hands Shade one of a dozen scrolls laying there. "All the information we have is written here." he leaves Shades side and begins distributing the scrolls to everyone.
Shade makes a b line for the one called Zenephret, but before he gets there the large Ogre shoulders passed almost knocking Shade on his ass in the process. Shade would have to watch out for Stain. There was no love lost between the two rival guilds for they had both nearly wiped eachother out only decades ago. Recovering himself he leaned into Zenephret and relayed his question.
She seamed to respond well to the idea. "I'm a free lance, but if that doesn't bother you then yeah I think two heads would be better then one on this. How about a 60, 40 split with the 60 going to whomever of us strikes the killing blow? What say you?
Before Shade could respond Arman Gessep approaches the negotiation. "You two looking to team up with anyone or is 3 a crowd?"
Zenephret looks to Shade and just shrugs.

i think three of us working together on this could be very helpful. say 30, 30, 40. the 40% going to whoever deals the killing blow? what say you? and what might might you mean Zenephret by your a free lance? does that mean you'll be taking other free lance jobs throughout our jurney? im completly fine with you being a free lance as long as it won't be slowing us down any.  we should go gather somewhere to see what were working with and formulate a game plan for this yeah? |

Both assassins agree to the split. Then Zen responds to Shades question. "No I won't take another job while on this one. I only mentioned the freelance thing, because some guild members like yourselves don't take kindly to us solo types. I just don't see the use for a guild. I prefer to find my own work. Glad to hear it doesn't bother you Shade. Arman?"
"No it doesn't bother me either. I don't agree with your choice, but it is yours to make. So what do these scrolls say?" Arman asked
The three assassins opened them together. Shade noted that some of the other assassins were teaming up as well and still others had already left.
The scrolls were quite extensive. It had a detailed route that the Oracle planned on taking and the time table he was to keep. it also listed a description of his guardsmen and their abilities. All the assassins had to do was figure out the where, when and how.

Sorry about the size.  Blue city is 'Tanis' where you are now and where the Oracle is leaving from. The brown line is his route. He will stay one day in each town until he gets to the red dot at the bottom. There he will stay for the night and travel to the yellow pyramid to make his speech/proclamation. (More to come on the guards, but you can respond before then if you wish) |

Both assassins readly agreed. There were a half dozen Inns to choose from, but it was settled to stay at the East Wind Inn because they had high quality locks on the bedroom doors. The cost was a reasonable twenty gold a night, but split three ways it was a steal. Armen quickly checked the window lock and shut the drappery for privacy. "What did you have in mind?" Zen inquired.

shade says in some what a quite voice. "i was thinking of day 3 at 11am when the orical and his group stop by the small brewing town of Tax. Population 560. with there being such a small town i think this would be our best chance. i know it's on day three of travel so we will have to fallow them closely and make sure we interrupt and of the other groups attepts to kill the orical. plus if we are seen helping to save him in the early days that might gain us trust we could use later to aid us. if we get a good chance before this point will take it but after this point it would become almost imposable because of the fact that the orical at futher points will be in very large citys with many guards around him for protection. what do you two think and what ideas might you have??"

"That could work." Zen surmised. What are you thinking? Poisoning his glass at the Inn or taking him out before or after the Inn?"
"We'll need transportation to keep up with them. They have a coach and horses. Leave that to me." Armen added.
"I agree with that. We don't want our associates getting him first. We'll definitely need to be mobile." Zen continued. "Someone is bound to try and take an early hit on day one, hoping to get lucky. They won't be able to plan anything so..."
"Arrow?" Armen offered.
"Or just a straight attack."
"Your thinking the ogre?"
"It is their style after all."
"Great." Armen finished.

well i was thinking of maybe trying a long ranged attack first. when they get to the small brewing town of Tax. sense the pop is only 560 it should be pretty easyto be able to stay to theout side of the town and maybe be able to get a good shoot off with arrows. he will be staying in one of the25 rooms on the second floor. so maybe he will have a window. if he looks out the window we could shoot then and if thelong ranged attack thingdoes not endup working then maybe i can give a try our skills and attemp a sneek attack. he leaves tomorrow at 8am so we should get started at 7am to keep a close eye on him to prevent any early attemps.

"One of us could get there ahead of time and see if we can't figure out what room he'll get. Much better chance of picking him off if we only have one or two windows to cover." Zenephret added. "I'm not much use with a bow so, I'll volunteer if we go that route."
